FAITH CAPSULE: Celebrate Jesus to demonstrate existing for God.
Matthew 2
In any area of life, lack of understanding is the key to not having a knowing edge to live for the glory of God.
In life, the level of understanding one possesses is the determinant of how far one goes with God.
If the word of God demands to praise with understanding, without doubt, all ways of serving God demand understanding.
Psalm 47:7 records, “For God is the King of all the earth; Sing praises with understanding.”

How are you celebrating the birth of Jesus?
Year after year, the majority celebrate the birth of Jesus but do not learn to gain the importance of living life for God.
Jesus demonstrated the importance of not missing heaven.
From the birth of Jesus, the evidence of a humble life was glaring, which believers should know how to adapt to.
Jesus, Lord Savior, was born in a manger.
A manager of all locations was where Jesus was born.
A manger is a trough or open box in a stable designed to hold feed or fodder for livestock.
Jesus was born in a manger!
Does that speak to you?
Jesus was born in a manger, so all are born in a better place.
For one who accepts Him and claims the life He brought for all.
Are you short of understanding the birth of Jesus, celebrating carelessly like the world?
The purpose of Jesus is for all to live life abundantly.
Jesus speaks to all, “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10)
Celebrating Jesus, without understanding and not knowing the purpose of His coming, is to live a life of waste.
Celebrate Jesus to demonstrate existing for God.
Live love as one who celebrates the love of God in Jesus.
Jesus came to offer the love of God.
1 John 4:9 buttresses, “In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.”
Jesus is the love of God for all.
1 John 5:1 states, “Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves Him who begot also loves him who is begotten of Him.”
Give Jesus a gift by accepting His love and abiding in Him.
What is it that you have to offer Jesus as you celebrate Him?
